Order L. CORIARIEiE. 
Five species constitute the whole of this order, distributed in South Europe, New Zealand, Peru, and 
Mexico. They possess no beauty, and are only interesting on account of their problematical station in a 
botanical arrangement. The leaves of C. myrtifolia are astringent, and are employed in dying black. Its 
berries are very poisonous. On one occasion, during the Spanish war fifteen French soldiers were taken ill 
after eating them, and three died from their powerful narcotic effects.

Section 4. Fruit {gynobasic) inserted into a fleshy receptacle, with which the style is continuous. 
Order LI. OCHNACEiE. 
Beautiful yellow-flowered tropical shrubs or trees with lucid leaves. The roots and leaves of Walk^ra serrata, 
a Cingalese plant, are bitter; a decoction of them, either in water or milk, is used in Malabar as tonic, 
stomachic, and antiemetic. The bark of Gomphia hexaspdrraa is found useful in healing sores produced in 
cattle in Brazil by the stings of insects.

Order LII. SIMARUBACE^. 
Thirteen plants, found in equinoctial America, constitute this order. They are trees or shrubs, with an 
intensely bitter bark, a milky juice, and pinnated leaves. The Quassia is well known as the most pure and 
intense bitter hitherto discovered; the same property exists, in a milder degree, in the rest of the order. 
Quassia araara is a very ornamental plant, but rare, at present, in collections.

Subclass II. CALYCIFLORE^. 
Petals separate, inserted into the calyx. 
Order LIII. CELASTRINE^. 
This order differs from the succeeding, in having the stamens alternate with the petals; the sepals imbri- 
cated in Eestivation; and the ovarium wholly superior. It consists entirely of shrubs or small trees, with 
simple, rarely compound, alternate or opposite leaves, and inconspicuous flowers of a greenish or white color. 
Several are favorite ornaments of our shrubberies, as the Staphylea, the Celastrus, and the Euonymus; the 
latter of which is valued on account of its beautiful-colored fruit. The fruit of Euonymus europa;'us is a brisk 
purgative, as is also the inner bark, and in strong doses powerfully emetic. The famous Paraguay tea is the 
foliage of a species of I'lex. The bark of Prinos verticillatus possesses such active, astringent, bitter, tonic, 
and febrifugal qualities, that it is used in North America, with success, as a substitute for Cinchona. A de- 
coction of the twigs of Maytenus boaria is used to bathe the swellings produced by the poisonous shade of the 
tree Lithi.

Order LIV. RHAMNE^. 
In nabu, this altogether agrees with the last, from which the medical properties of the species are not 
widely different. Throughout the order, as far as it has been examined, there is a remarkable agreement 
between the fruit and the inner bark, especially in Rhamnus catharticus, frangula, and others, in which they 
both are purgative and emetic. Some, as the Jujuba, and the African Lote, nevertheless, yield a wholesome 
and agreeable fruit ; and the berries, of the greater number, yield, under the chemist's hands, green or yellow 
dyes of much importance in manufactures. The leaves of Rhamnus theezans are substituted for tea by the 
poorer sort among the Chinese. The bark of Ceanothus caeruleus is esteemed in Mexico as a good febrifuge.

Orderly. BRUNIACE.ffi, 
Small heath-like shrubs, all natives of the Cape of Good Hope, and extremely ornamental, both in flower 
and foliage. Their properties are unknown. 
533 Briinia W. 511 St&avia W. 
Order LVI. SAMYDE^E. 
Tropical shrubs or small trees, with entire, stipulate, alternate leaves, covered with pellucid dots, and 
axillary flowers of little shew. Some of the species of Samyda are pretty, but very rare. Their properties are 
unknown. M. DecandoUe remarks, that in their fruit they approach Bixinea; and Flacourtianese ; but on ac- 
count of the position of their stamens must be arranged in the vicinity of Rhamneee and Rosaceee.
